Do they still agree with Nick?


The Hon. Member for East Dunbartonshire

Lib Dem MP Jo Swinson tweeted this article which defends the role of the Lib Dems in the Coalition Government: Nick

Judging from her tweets, Swinson spends much of her time on an endless tour of events in her East Dunbartonshire constituency or raising issues like the security fencing round the Milngavie (Mull-guy) Reservoir. Makes sense given that her majority was down in May.

However, her many followers were puzzled by a tweet sent out around midnight last Saturday: Yes. What can she have meant?

think you'll find it was an answer to the question 'will you marry me' as it happens.

Yes, there was mention of this in various blogs (as I recall) at the time. Story below.

OK, I can't get the link to work but the story is true!

MatGB said...

Justin, the links fine, but you need to code it, Blogger won't auto-link it.

This'll work (I hope).

But yeah, the comments are more accurate than the article, it wasn't Facebook, it was Twitter, although I'm pretty sure they both import to Facebook from Twitter.

Jennie and I used Livejournal...

And to a fellow Liberal Democrat MP! Very modern way of doing it. Hope they're very happy.

MatGB said...

They've definitely looked happy every time I've seen them together; they've been friends for years, think they met at university.

That's good, same way I met my wife
